PLAYA VISTA, Calif., Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Belkin®, market leader in mobile accessories, announces a collaboration with DuPont Protection Solutions (DuPont) for the development of a premium line of cables built with DuPont™ Kevlar® for extreme durability.

The MIXIT↑™ DuraTek™ Lightning to USB Cables are forged with superior quality materials, including strong DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber strands built into the cables to provide structure, protecting the wires inside from damage. Best known for its lightweight strength and use in ballistic and stab-resistant body armor, DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber is used around the world for everything from bullet-resistant vests and crash helmets, to surfboards and extreme sports gear.

"With virtually every consumer owning multiple mobile devices and looking for opportunities to charge, there's a real and growing need in the marketplace for reliable charging solutions," said Steve Malony, GM & VP, Belkin. "We're delighted to collaborate with DuPont to expand Belkin's overall mobile accessories line, bringing two iconic brands together to create a line of cables that border on indestructible, withstanding even the most demanding routines."

"For more than two decades, DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber has brought lightweight, flexible strength and temperature resistance to electro-mechanical cables for severe loads and in harsh environments from the bottom of the ocean to the surface of Mars. We are pleased to be working with the global leader, Belkin, to now bring Kevlar® advantage to consumers in fine gauge cables for electronic devices," said Lynne Chappel, global brand leader, DuPont.

DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber has helped to protect the lives of thousands of people around the world. The use of Kevlar® has been extended to everything from firefighter and industrial protective clothing to vehicles, fiber optic cables, mining belts, commercial aircraft and city roads. Kevlar® fiber is used in many consumer products such as mobile phones, tires, high-performance sporting apparel and equipment. Last year, DuPont celebrated the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DuPont™ Kevlar®.

The MIXIT DuraTek Lightning to USB Cables will be available November 15 for a MSRP of $29.99 on Belkin.com.
